Steven Moffat leaves Doctor Who after series 10, and Chris Chibnall takes over.
Moffat will see series 10 through, before handing the keys to the TARDIS over to Chris Chibnall.
Here, then, is what we know, and the questions yet to be resolved…
Lets start with an easy one.
The next new episode ofDoctor Whowill screen on December 25th 2016.
Thatll be it for this year, too.
Instead, we will be getting an eight-part spin-off series,Class.
Peter Capaldi has thus far revealed that hes not been asked to appear in it.
That may, of course, change.

Make of that what you will.
Unknown, but youd have to say theres a good chance.
The new companion may yet turn up inClassfirst.
In recent years, the full series runs have been reserved for darker nights in the autumn.
As a BBC spokesperson told theRadio Times, that is still to be decided.
He may yet have more.
Weve had nothing remotely concrete on that, we should note.
It may be as simple, though, as shes buyingDoctor Who and Steven Moffat time.
Weve been told that for definite.
No names have been confirmed yet.
New writers have been teased but not named.
No news on that thus far either.
Again, were unlikely to know for some time.
We dont know the answer to the question, to be clear.
Our best guess is that Christmas 2017 will be Chris Chibnalls first episode in charge of the show.
Again, no idea so far.
His predecessor, Russell T Davies, has always resisted a return toDoctor Who.
Steven Moffat, however, was writing for the show before he took on the top job.
Whether he continues to do so when he leaves remains to be seen.
It seems plausible, though.
Unlike Davies, he has worked under another showrunner on Who before.
However: Steven Moffat may yet have a list of potential other projects hes been waiting to try.
He may yet opt for a clean break.
The two are talking, and were fully expecting a friendly changing of the guard.
With series 11, which will screen in 2018.
His attention, at least full time, is not likely to be onWhountil early 2017.
Way, way too early to tell.
But again, who knows?
Chibnall is long term fan of the show, whos written for both showrunners since it returned in 2005.
He is unlikely to be short on ideas of what he wants to do withDoctor Who.
This is one show with many more adventures ahead of it.
TheRadio Timeshas the full statements from the BBC, Moffat and Chibnall.
